Poehler's SNL Return Only a Cameo

Reprised role just a cameo for new mom

Share

(Newser) – Amy Poehler made a surprise return to Saturday Night Live as Hillary Clinton, reports TV Guide, but the appearance was only a cameo. With Darrell Hammond at her side as husband Bill, Poehler lampooned Clinton's appointment as secretary of state in an opening sketch. The comedienne gave birth 6 weeks ago and is working on an NBC sitcom.

"This job is almost a dream come true," said Poehler's Clinton of her new gig. "You thought I was gone, didn't you? We Clintons are here to stay. You may think we're down, but like the South, vampires, and Britney Spears, we will rise again."
